<strong>Danish</strong> <strong>Business</strong> <strong>Delegation</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>Korea</strong><br />
Save the dates 13-16 May 2012 for T.R.H. the Crown Prince Couple’s visit <strong>to</strong> <strong>Korea</strong><br />
and solutions are introduced <strong>to</strong> the<br />
world market. The fast development<br />
presents exciting business opportu-<br />
<br />
know-how or already commercialized<br />
products.<br />
DEFENCE TECHNOLOGY<br />
The <strong>Korea</strong>n government has actively<br />
supported its defence industry for<br />
the last 40 years and encouraged<br />
military research and product development.<br />
The result is a healthy<br />
amount of companies producing<br />
defence equipment and technology.<br />
Through the last years <strong>Korea</strong>n companies<br />
have secured major contracts<br />
<br />
battle tanks <strong>to</strong> both Turkey and<br />
Indonesia and therefore having a<br />
<br />
economy. With large productions<br />
capabilities already in place in<br />

surveillance- and moni<strong>to</strong>ring<br />

FOOD TECHNOLOGY AND<br />
FOOD SAFETY<br />
Food safety is a major issue in <strong>Korea</strong><br />
and the <strong>Korea</strong>n food and agriculture<br />
sec<strong>to</strong>r is currently investing extensively<br />
<strong>to</strong> meet the demands set by<br />
<br />
legislation. Food manufacturing<br />
in general and slaughterhouses in<br />
particular are therefore areas where<br />
<strong>Danish</strong> experience, know-how and<br />
solutions are needed. Outdated<br />
<strong>Korea</strong>n slaughterhouses are currently<br />
being consolidated in<strong>to</strong> fewer,<br />
larger and more modern facilities<br />
by 2015 and <strong>Danish</strong> technology is<br />
already playing a key role in the process<br />
with the possibility of playing<br />
an even more central role in years<br />
ahead.<br />
The legislation concerning slaughterhouses<br />
is expected <strong>to</strong> be further<br />
strengthened before the end of 2011<br />
as regards requirements for the collection<br />
of blood providing further<br />
export opportunities for <strong>Danish</strong><br />
meat technology.<br />
T.R.H. the Crown Prince Couple’s<br />
visit will provide an unique opportunity<br />
<strong>to</strong> strengthen the relationships<br />
<strong>to</strong> key <strong>Korea</strong>n decision makers and<br />
establish Denmark and <strong>Danish</strong> meat<br />
related technology.<br />
FOOD<br />
The Free Trade Agreement between<br />
the EU and South <strong>Korea</strong> from Febru-<br />
<br />
Asian country, and the most comprehensive<br />
of its kind. South <strong>Korea</strong> is<br />
the 15 th largest economy, and characterised<br />
as one of the Next 11 growth<br />
markets. This agreement will gradu-<br />
riers,<br />
greatly improving the access of<br />
food and agricultural products <strong>to</strong> this<br />
very attractive market.<br />
<br />
<br />
7,5 bill. DKK were removed, and<br />
it is estimated that European food<br />
and agriculture exporters will save<br />
around 380 mill. DKK annually as<br />
a direct consequence of the lowered<br />
<br />
this will position South <strong>Korea</strong> as the<br />
4th most important market outside<br />
Europe after USA, China and Japan.<br />
Currently, the <strong>Danish</strong> pig meat sec<strong>to</strong>r’s<br />
annual export <strong>to</strong> <strong>Korea</strong> reaches<br />
145 mill. DKK, while the equivalent<br />
for the <strong>Danish</strong> dairy sec<strong>to</strong>r amounts<br />
<strong>to</strong> 25 mill. DKK.<br />
